Ellianos Coffee was founded in 2002 with the mission to serve ‘Italian Quality at America’s Pace.’ Founders Scott and Pam Stewart have dedicated their lives to this mission, developing systems and strategies to satisfy to the consumer and franchisee alike. One such system is the proven, efficient double-sided drive-thru. This design provides consumers with speedy, convenient service while offering high-quality coffee and allows the franchisee to maximize sales.
Ellianos Coffee is a rapidly growing brand with territory availability in states across the southeast United States. The small building footprint, starting at just 700 sq. ft., allows Ellianos Coffee store locations to fit where other brands are unable to. Its modular-style buildings are perfect for parking lots of existing shopping centers, are quick to develop, and are a great asset to any landlord.
Providing ongoing support to each franchisee throughout the development stage and beyond, Ellianos Coffee focuses on building relationships with its franchisees and considers them a part of the Ellianos Coffee family. Ellianos also encourages franchisees to engage with their customers and conducts initiatives to give back to its communities.
Our double-sided drive-thru only model starts at just 700 sq. ft., giving it the ability to fit anywhere. This design system has been proven to offer speedy service which satisfies our busy customers and maximizes profits for our franchisees. The small building footprint is compatible with new or existing shopping centers, has low parking requirements, and allows the franchisee to save on rent and labor costs. Careful studies of demographics, traffic counts, visibility, and ease of access are conducted before any site is approved to ensure success for each franchised location.
We could list a hundred key benefits of owning an Ellianos franchise, but we’ll let one of our very own incredible franchisees share her experience:
“I have watched children grow up in the backseats of my customer’s cars until they were old enough to drive themselves to the window or join my staff! I have had the privilege of witnessing young baristas become amazing adults, raising families and opening businesses of their own. Honestly, some of my best friends today are former baristas. My work and success as an Ellianos franchisee have allowed me to make a difference in the lives of so many people.”
Simply put – one of the most significant key benefits of being an Ellianos franchisee is the relationships you’ll build along the way. We are truly a family-focused franchise that supports and values each member of our team.
